I have a good old Troy Built Horse model tiller, purchased 1/23/1989. Has the 7 HP Briggs & Stratton Industrial/Commercial Engine.
Has not actually seen that many hours of run time, but we always moved it from house to house. Last house I never used it in 16 years. Move it here, refreshed it, ran like a champ. Tilled a bunch. Drained the tank, and bowl and winterized it.
Now, spring I expect a tough start, as it can be cold blooded and yes it took a bit to get started. It started.
PROBLEM: It will not run at all, at any throttle position without choke full closed position.
So not getting enough gas or massive air leak - otherwise lean condition, right?
So I blow the jets out, fuel is new and flows well, air intake all looks normal.
I'm stumped! Help me out. (Reward offered!!)
